Not that I support moving kesler but if it must be done........ Kesler & Hansen for Alex Chaisson, B. Dillon and a 2nd. Adds size and youth while creating cap space. DIllon is a Stud, homegrown d-man who makes edler expendable for a trade, Chaisson is a big young winger who has had made a great transition to the NHL, putting up points and a young age while remaining physical.
Trade Edler and schroder and a 3rd for an offensive 2nd line center(nyquist) 3rd line LW (Abdelkader) and pick (1st)
Danny-hank-Kass
Higgy-Nyquist-Burr
Abdelkader-Horvat-Chaisson
Sestito-Richy-Archie
Lain-Dalpe
Hammer-Garry
Dillon-Bieksa
Stanton-Tanev
Corrado-Diaz
AHL
Gaunce
Jens
Shink
Grenier
Fox
Tommerenes
Subban
Suave
Cassels
ETC.....
Adding those two early picks will help re-stock, and who knows what free agency or other trades might do....BUY OUT BOOTH also, even though he has been physical on the forcheck thats not worth 4 million... Anyway let me know what you think. FIrst Post. Been reading CDC for years now though
Cheers!
